It's a wonder that obnoxious hit pieces like this still get made in this day and age. The first paragraph is filled with disingenuous strawman rhetoric. > colonize space, plunder the vast resources of the cosmos The author obviously tries to draw a parallel between inter-earth colonization and plundering to make longtermism and by proxy AE look bad. I'm not an EA but I've never met people more receptive to criticism as they are. This is a group of people, uniting around a desire to do good, actually going through with it, and somehow catching a huge amount of flak for it.
